The Moselle River

The Moselle River, winding through the heart of Europe, offers travellers a journey through some of the most picturesque landscapes and charming towns in Germany, Luxembourg, and France. Along its banks, you can explore the enchanting town of Cochem with its majestic Reichsburg Castle perched high above the river. The historic city of Trier, Germany’s oldest city, boasts impressive Roman ruins and the stunning Trier Cathedral. Vineyards blanket the hillsides, producing world-renowned Riesling wines, which you can savour at quaint wineries and wine festivals. The scenic river cruises provide breathtaking views of medieval castles, rolling hills, and idyllic villages.

Please note that the estimated temperature, rainfall and recommended months of when to go are based on Cochem’s weather patterns
